Rhymes with Nerdy adds to it’s ever-growing list of co-hosts when I sit down with Brian and Amber to talk about Urban Fantasy and Paranormal Romance. We discuss the good, the questionable, and the downright unreadable authors within the genre. This episode features lots and lots of geeking out over how amazing Sandman Slim and Mercy Thompson are. Slight warning, there is a frank talk about sex, why Harry Dresden almost never gets laid while Anita Blake seems to do nothing but.
